Chapter 73: Father’s Debt and Son Pay
“Remember not to strike too lightly, but not too harshly either.” Zhao Xing warned.
He was a little worried that Gan Dalang was not serious enough and beat people to death.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I know the importance of this." Gan Dalang said.
"If their elders go to your house to ask for an explanation, you can't give a confession, right?" Zhao Xing said.
He definitely couldn't let Gan Dalang beat Feng Deguang and the others, but as the saying goes, father's debt must be paid by son, so let's beat their son and grandson to vent their anger.
"I will never betray His Highness." Gan Dalang promised.
Zhao Xing nodded with satisfaction and said: "Sanshi, tell Gan Dalang who are the people who impeached me."
Wait for Liu Sanshi to tell Gan Dalang about the people who participated in his impeachment After saying it several times to make sure he could remember it, Zhao Xing let him go.
"Your Highness, will nothing happen if this happens?" Liu Sanshi said worriedly.
"What could happen? That Gan Dalang has often fought with people before, and I have never heard of him beating anyone up." Zhao Xing said nonchalantly.
"Your Highness, Gan Dalang came to the East Palace with one foot, and then attacked the descendants of those who impeached His Highness. They will definitely guess that it was His Highness who instigated it, and they will definitely go to the officials to complain." Liu Sanshi reminded.
"If you know it, you know it. I'm afraid they don't know. As long as Gan Dalang doesn't admit that he was the instigator, they can just sue him. My father will not pay attention to it." Zhao Xing said without caring.
He still knows his father very well. Although the two people have some differences in their ideas, as a son like him, his father will not pay less attention to him just because his ideas do not match.
Although the impeachment of Feng Deguang and others was not a big deal, it still had a considerable impact on his reputation.
If you take care of them yourself, it's too late for your father to be happy, so how can you possibly care about them.
Liu Sanshi didn't say anything after hearing this. He had already reminded him what he should have reminded him. Any more nonsense would only arouse Zhao Xing's resentment.
......
After Gan Dalang left the East Palace, he went to the favorite places of the powerful children in the inner city to inquire.
Because it was still morning and the younger generation of the family hadn’t come out yet, he didn’t get any useful information at all.
However, he inquired that Feng Deguang's youngest son, Feng Mingsong, had chartered a painting boat today and invited a few friends to visit the Bianhe River at noon.
Hearing the news, Gan Dalang was extremely happy. Almost all the people Feng Mingsong invited were the descendants of Yushitai officials, and the children of the families Liu Sanshi told him were among them.
Gan Dalang came to the dock and made some inquiries, and learned that Feng Mingsong and the others had not arrived yet.
He originally wanted to hire a painting boat, but he was short of money and could only hire a awning boat.
After hovering on the river near the pier for more than half an hour, I finally saw Feng Mingsong and seven or eight young men boarding a painting boat, talking and laughing.
After the painting boat started to move, Gan Dalang asked the boatman to follow.
The painting boat is a building boat. Normally, the sailing speed is much faster than that of the awning boat.
However, since it was just for fun, the speed was not very fast, so it was not difficult for the awning boat to keep up.
Gandalang waited until he was far away from the dock and there were no other boats nearby. He ordered the boatman: "Crash into it!"
"What did you say, young man?" The boatman was stunned when he heard this. , I thought I heard it wrong.
"I said hit that painting boat." Gan Dalang repeated it again.
"Young master, that's a big boat. If my little boat hits it, the big boat will shake at most. If we don't make it, it will capsize. The little old man's family depends on this boat to make a living. Don't be embarrassed, sir." Me." the boatman said pitifully.
“What nonsense, if the boat capsizes, I will accompany you.” Gan Dalang glared.
The boatman was a little scared when he saw Gan Dalang glaring, but he still didn't dare to let him crash into the boat.
Anyone who can ride on that kind of painting boat is either rich or noble, how dare he hit it.
"Start!"
Seeing that the boatman was not moving, Gan Dalang pushed the boatman away, grabbed the oar, and started shaking it himself.
Although he didn't know how to rock the boat, the target of the painting boat was large and the distance was not far away. The awning boat still hit the side of the painting boat crookedly.
Gan Dalang was very strong and the awning boat was very fast. Fortunately, it hit him at an angle. The awning boat was shaken away and a lot of force was removed. Although it shook violently, it did not capsize.
The painting boat was less affected, but it shook much more violently than before. In the cabin on the second floor, Feng Mingsong and the young men, each holding a scantily clad woman in their arms, were laughing and joking. A sudden shaking startled them.
“Go and ask how to sail the boat!” Feng Mingsong said angrily.
The shaking of the boat just now knocked over the tea cup in front of him, and the tea flowed onto his body. Although the tea was not hot, it also made his clothes wet.
“Yes!”
The attendants on the side heard the words and ran out quickly.
"Why did you drive your boat? You almost knocked my boat over!"
At this moment, a loud shout came from outside.
Feng Mingsong and others were startled when they heard the sound. They stood up and went to the open window and looked down. They saw Gan Dalang stepping on the bow of a awning boat and heading towards the boat from the side of the painting boat. Climb.
“Gan Dalang?”
Feng Mingsong and others’ expressions changed when they saw Gan Dalang.
Although they had no contact with Gan Dalang, they had heard of Gan Dalang's reputation.
Many of the lord's children in Bianjing were beaten by Gan Dalang.
"Did our ship collide with Gan Dalang's ship?" Feng Mingsong asked doubtfully.
"This is impossible." One of the young masters said: "The painting boat is not going fast, and it is so conspicuous. The awning boat will avoid it when it sees it. How can it collide with each other?"
"Then what happened just now? Gan Dalang also said that we hit his boat." Feng Mingsong said.
"Brother Feng, let's talk about this later, Gan Dalang is already here." Another young master reminded.
Feng Mingsong looked down and found that Gan Dalang, who had just climbed the side of the ship, had disappeared.
"This guy has a bad mind. Let's go and apologize quickly and coax him away." Feng Mingsong said.
As soon as a few people got out of the cabin and before they even went downstairs, they met Gan Dalang who was walking up.
"Gandalang, this is all a misunderstanding. The boatman must have been distracted, so he bumped into your boat. I'll help you, and I will take care of those boatmen later." Feng Mingsong said.
"Do you think I'm stupid? I almost fell into the water and drowned just now, and you just thought about it in a few words. It's a beautiful idea, just look at the beating!"
Gandalang came here just to beat people, and he didn't follow them. Nonsense, just roll up your sleeves and go up to beat someone.
“Block the door quickly!”
Feng Mingde and others were so frightened that they quickly entered the cabin and ordered their followers to close the door.
“Bang!”
Several followers had just closed the door, but before they had a chance to get in, Gan Dalang kicked it open.
"Okay, you still want to run after hitting my boat!"
Gandalang rushed forward, grabbed a young man, and gave him a good beating.
Several followers stepped forward to stop him, but were kicked away by him.
After a stick of incense, the cabin burst into mourning, and Feng Mingsong and others screamed miserably.
Gan Dalang strictly carried out Zhao Xing's order and did not beat anyone to death, but he did not do it lightly. Feng Mingsong and others had their hands or feet broken.
After beating the man, Gan Dalang went directly back to the awning boat and left.
Not long after Gan Dalang left, the painting boat turned around and quickly returned to the dock.
Feng Mingsong and his entourage called a few helpers to lift a few people off the boat and onto the carriage.
Feng Mingsong and others screamed and screamed along the way, attracting many people to watch.
Although they didn't know the inside story, some people saw that Feng Mingsong's pants were wet.
Before Feng Mingsong and others were sent home, various versions of the story were spread.
